7 Destinations To Visit Solo Before Getting Married

'Me time' is important but it is essential before a wedding.

Because let's get real. Once you get married, your life will revolve around your partner. There will rarely be moments where you will be alone and for most of us, packing our bags and going for a spontaneous trip just by ourselves after getting married is something that might never happen. In no way are we telling you not to travel with your partner, but before you get married, try to spend as much time on your own. And the best way to really turn that downtime into a rewarding experience is at a fantastic destination.

Below, we've hand-picked destinations that would be ideal for solo trips. These are destinations that are known for their vibrant night-life, surreal views or just plush places where you can put your feet up for a few days to get away from all that wedding madness. It's your last chance to be single and do what your heart desires, so get to it before you say 'I do'!

1. Seoul, South Korea.

Solo travellers love travelling to Seoul. Simply because there are so many people who couldn't care less that you're there. People in Seoul are generally believed to be in a hurry and with all the stuff that they have to get done, no one will mind you looking at a map or getting lost in those beautiful streets - you won't feel watched. And that's one of the best feelings. Plus food in Seoul isn't for the fussy and they really don't have things for couples to do. So go here to be by your own self and learn how beautifully you rely on yourself.

2. Chilling, Leh.

If you are an adventurer at heart and you know the person you are going to marry won't enjoy climbing mountains while being oxygen deprived and the unkind weather, head to Leh before getting married and fulfill all adventurous experiences your heart so deeply craves for. Take a lot of photos to show your partner because it will be a great story to tell.

3. Paris, France.

No no, we are not crazy to be sending you to the City Of Love all alone. While Paris is known to be a romantic city, it's not restricted to just that. That's why you need to explore Paris on your own to realise and know that it's not just a couples destination. Wander the gorgeous streets aimlessly. Discover the most amazing coffee at Caf¨¦ de Flore. Take a French cooking or baking class even if you are someone who has never stepped into a kitchen, just for kicks. Eat a lot of French pastries and spend all your time reading or painting. When night time falls, see how Eiffel Tower lights up. Then do it all again the next day. That's the magic of Paris!

4. Puducherry, Chennai.

If the wedding preparation is driving you mad and your family is kind enough to let you run away from it, the most ideal and budget-friendly destination for a spontaneous solo trip has to be Puducherry. Coastal breeze, authentic Portuguese and French cuisine to feast on and dreamy french colonial architecture to stare at all day can give your mind, body, and soul the rest it deserves before the wedding craziness is unleashed.

5. Copenhagen, Denmark.

With excellent public transport, a stunning mix of modern design and mid-century European architecture, restaurants, and storybook charm, you can't go wrong with anything in Copenhagen. It's a paradise for solo travellers because of how easy it is to be by yourself there.

6. Andamans.

Andaman Islands are full of beautiful crystal clear beaches. The fauna and flora are worth experiencing. Indulge in activities like snorkelling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, and speed boating. The best part? A close getaway to home where mobile network is supremely hard to get.

7. Oslo, Norway.

Do you know why Norway ranks high in the listing of the World's Happiest Countries? You'll know why when you spend a few days in the Norweigan capital- Oslo. A typical millennial destination that boasts great coffee, super brunch places and plenty of chances to catch a glimpse of the magical midnight sun. Excellent public transport is a cherry on top as it makes it easy to get around to the monuments and prominent art galleries. Go here and just be your most unapologetic self, we promise you wouldn't regret it.
